Rightly regarded as a groundbreaking masterpiece, Orson Wellesï debut remains a monumental achievement, its imaginative scope amply repaying countless viewings.

Seldom seen on the big screen in recent years, Wellesï witty, gripping film famously views the controversial life of the late Charles Foster Kane (Welles) – a media tycoon partly inspired by William Randolph Hearst – from the sometimes contradictory perspectives of his friends, employees and mistress. Itïs an extraordinary work, not just technically (Gregg Tolandïs cinematography, Bernard Herrmannïs score, the editing, design and quietly bravura direction are all superb); but in its dramatic sophistication and thematic richness. An affecting meditation on memory, self-knowledge, solitude and mortality; a wry reflection on fame, fortune and the spirit of America; an exhilarating exploration of the artistic possibilities of the film medium – Citizen Kane is all this… and so very much more.
